A quick
hello from Rio, where I witnessed the Germans beat Argentina and win the World
Cup. Over the last couple of weeks I managed to visit 5 games and I enjoyed
them all.What a World Cup, what a
country, what a people. I can honestly say I was impressed with the passion of
the Brazilians. The people, not their football team.

The truth
is, I wouldn’t have mind seeing Messi’s Argentina win the title but the Germans
showed their class during the whole tournament. As did Colombia, the
Netherlands, etc. It was a wonderful experience to witness from close by. I can’t
wait for 2018!

Another
post, another story about cars and parties I’m afraid. With both cars and
parties getting better and better, I have no clue how this can ever be exceeded,
maybe only by next year’s edition of the Gumball 3000 rally.

Because
that’s what has been making me really tired the last couple of weeks. Starting
in Miami Beach on the 4th and ending on Ibiza on the 12th
of June, while visiting New York, London and Paris on the way.

Huge
parties every night, stops at various circuits, celebrities, you name it. Most
definitely the craziest couple of days of my life, while being just a co-pilot……

Just got
back from Monaco where I witnessed Nico Rosberg winning the Formula 1 Grand
Prix in what is, basically, his hometown.

I have been
to various Grand Prix before, but this was the first in the – soundless – era of
the turbo F1 engine. But it was also the first that I watched from a 20 meter
yacht, so no complaints there.

The speed
of the cars in the narrow streets of Monte Carlo is something amazing, but to
be honest, the parties and the atmosphere around the Grand Prix was truly
something else. Ok, you need to know some people and have access to the better
parties, but then it becomes a weekend that you won’t soon forget….

Since I won
the lottery, I’ve treated myself on all sorts of presents. From cars, to
houses, to holidays, you name it. But now, I’ve really outdone
myself by pretty much combining all these in the ultimate present: a Unicat!

Luckily for
you, I upload an image with each post, otherwise you still wouldn’t have a
clue. And actually that one image might not be enough, as what looks like an
ordinary lorry, is actually a home on wheels and able to get you pretty much
anywhere on the planet.

And that’s
what I’m going to do. I’ve done the luxuryhotels and the bigcities. Now it’s time to get down and dirty in, to start with, Africa.
And the Unicat will be the perfect companion.

As
mentioned in my previous post, I’m more and more struggling to park allmycars. Also, the lease for my Parisian pied-a-terre is ending before the
end of the year. I need a place to stay, so I’m having one built.

I’m talking
properly villa-material here. Of course it will have a huge garage for my
current cars (and the ones on my wish list), but it will also include a
swimming pool with Jetstream and starry sky, a Dolby Digital home cinema room,
a gym….. and lots more.

The land
was bought, the plans are made and construction has begun. The only thing to do
now is wait …. and keep an eye on the progress made, obviously…..
